At a press briefing at 5.30 pm on Wednesday 25 June in the Council of Europe Press Room, Andreas Gross will present Das Europa der Schweiz, Schweizerinnen und Schweizer im Europarat 1963-2003 (Switzerland and Europe, Swiss women and men in Europe 1963-2003), the book he has edited to mark the fortieth anniversary of Switzerland's Council of Europe membership. After an introduction to the Council of Europe's history, most of the book's 300 pages - four-fifths in German and the remained in French - are devoted to interviews with past and present members of the Swiss delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly. The book is on sale in the bookshop in the main entrance hall.
